... basking in the warm glow of the thrown flowers and democratization he's brought to the world.

8. Here's the article. Remember the "signing statement"

Must read this story headlined at Bussflash: 21 Billion for Iraq reconstruction goes missing. Congress gets wind of this, writes bill authorizing investigation. Bush signs bill, adding
“signing statement” preventing investigation. Crony dictatorship accomplished. 6/10

The deception was far-reaching. When Thomas Gimble, the acting inspector general of the Pentagon, was asked in 2005 during a congressional hearing by Christopher Shays (R-CT), chair of the House government reform subcommittee, why the Pentagon had no audit team in Iraq to look for fraud, Gimble facilely replied that such a team was "not needed" because Congress had set up the special inspector general unit to do that. He didn't mention that the president had barred the special inspector general from investigating Pentagon scandals.
This would all be pretty funny except for two things.

First of all, Americans and Iraqis are dying in droves because of the chaos that the U.S. invasion and occupation have created in Iraq-a problem that that $9 billion in missing Congressionally-allocated funds, and the bales of US dollars, were supposed to have solved.

12. He's building a 21 apartment complex in Bahgdad

A palace, with that money.

[Joanne98]

13. You might be right.....

[Karenca]

14. $592 million

"two office buildings, one of them designed for future use as a school, six apartment buildings, a gym, a pool, a food court and its own power generation and water-treatment plants. The average Baghdad home has electricity only four hours a day".

[Karenca]

15. And it gets better...........

New office building: Includes classified activities
New office annex: For public diplomacy staff, consular affairs and the U.S. Agency for International Development
Interim office building: Designed for future use as a school
General services annex: Facilities management, break areas, staff locker rooms
Recreation building: Gym, exercise room, swimming pool, locker rooms, the American Club, commissary, food court, barber and beauty shop
Six staff apartment buildings: Each has one bedroom apartments
Residences for the chief and deputy chief of mission
Marine security guard quarters
Remaining buildings are dedicated to security, vehicle maintenance and facilities management, storage, utilities, and water and wastewater treatment.

Billions, I'm sure it costs billions.
